In this online tutoring course we focus on applying the material learnt in an Advanced Functions or pre-calculus mathematics course at the grade 12 level, Ontario, Canada. e.g. In Ontario the material covered here can be found in the grade 12 MHF4U course. In this course we include the introduction of new functions, such as the absolute value function, piecewise functions, exponential function, logarithm functions; more on polynomial and rational functions and operations involving functions. This course is by no means a substitute for an actual course. The aim of the course is to help the student work through solved exercises, problems and eventually be able to perform on assignments, quizzes, tests and exams more confidently
